Arizona Bobcat

Here's my first trail cam video of an Arizona bobcat. It looks a little skinny. I think it needs to eat something other than weeds...

DIY Air Purifier

While looking at YouTube videos, I came across an idea for building an air purifier for your home. Basically, you tape a quality filter that traps particles such as dust, pollen, spores, bacteria, rattlesnakes, etc. to the back of a large fan. Hopefully, the condition of the filter in a month or so will tell me if it is working. It may be a little harder on the fan motor, but a $7 filter sure beats a $700 Dyson purifier.

Humidifier

You normally run a humidifier in the winter months. However, with our current humidity around 7%, I am running mine at full blast here in June. It keeps my nose from bleeding and reduces static electricity to the point that I do not go around electrocuting small appliances...

Wimps

As of today, my next door neighbors and I are the only ones left on our street. All those wimps that cannot handle triple digit temperatures have fled to cooler climes. 😄

Monsoon Rain

Early this morning a little after 2:00 a.m. a massive thunderstorm with heavy winds and rain hit the park. As far as I can tell, there was no major damage, but it did cause some serious washouts...

After a long period of drought, I actually enjoy the rain. However, I could do without the wind as it has damaged my carport twice which makes me a little nervous whenever it gets too high.
